Feasibility of Web-based Therapy Sessions
The goal of this feasibility study is to explore rehabilitation outcomes, usability and user experience of a web-based platform for delivering treatment for cognitive and language impairment amongst adults with acquired neurological disorders in critical illness and stroke disorders. The main question it aims to answer is: " Is it …
ECMO ABI Detection With Hyperfine
The primary objective is to characterize the prevalence and type of ABI following cannulation for pediatric patients who require ECMO support. The secondary objective is to describe the time course and rates of ABI using ultralow-field bedside MRI relative to both duration of ECMO support and clinical imaging obtained in …
Brain Monitoring During PEEP-Based Respiratory Therapy in Critically Ill Patients
Mechanical ventilation is commonly used in critically ill patients with acute brain injury. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and lung recruitment maneuvers are important ventilator strategies for improving oxygenation, but they may also influence cerebral blood flow, systemic hemodynamics, carbon dioxide levels, and brain electrical activity. The effects of PEEP-related ventilator …
Rehabilitation of Visual Function After Brain Injury
In Denmark, about 120,000 people suffer from brain damage, of whom approx. 75,000 with brain damage after stroke. Serious and often lasting vision impairments affect 20% to 35% of people after stroke. Vision is the most important sense in humans, and even smaller permanent injuries can drastically reduce quality of …
Q Therapeutic System for Chronic Stroke Recovery
Evaluate the effectiveness of the Q Therapeutic (BQ 3.0) System for individuals with chronic stroke in improving upper extremity function as determined by change in functional outcome measures after 3-month treatment, including in-clinic and at-home sessions.
Using Non-invasive Brain Stimulation to Treat Word Finding Difficulty in Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how brain stimulation affects word finding problems in people who have a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The type of brain stimulation used is called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). tDCS delivers low levels of electric current to the brain and …
VentricuLostomy AssoCiaTed InfeCtions (LACTIC): Focus on CSF Lactate and Sampling Site
This observational study involving patients with acute brain injury undergoing treatment with an external ventricular drain consists of three subprojects, aiming to: investigate various biomarkers, with a primary focus on the development of cerebrospinal fluid lactate in relation to ventriculostomy-associated infection; compare proximal and distal sample results obtained from an …
Comparing Telehealth to In-person a Combined Metacognitive Training in Veterans With mTBI/PTSD
Veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) commonly experience cognitive impairments including attention and executive function deficits that interfere with their ability to engage in productive personal and social activities. Of the limited interventions available to address cognition, none rigorously train attention beyond strategy management. …
Virtual-reality Exercises for Alleviating Attention Deficits in Patients With Acquired Brain Injury
Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability with an increasing incidence, especially in young adults. Among the cognitive difficulties following brain damage, deficits in attention are frequent and pervasive, affecting between 46% and 92% of stroke survivors. The current project targets patients with acquired brain injury, including stroke, traumatic …
Feasibility and Acceptability of StimolIrpinia for Cognitive Rehabilitation After Severe Acquired Brain Injury
This single-center pilot study evaluates the feasibility, acceptability, usability, and preliminary stimulus validation of StimolIrpinia, a multimedia repository of culturally and territorially relevant autobiographical stimuli designed to support cognitive rehabilitation activities in patients with severe acquired brain injury (sABI). The repository includes images, videos, maps, local cultural information, and printable …
